STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

wzxCPutative colanic acid exporter; Probable export protein; Belongs to the polysaccharide synthase family. (492 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wcaJ
Colanic biosynthesis UDP-glucose lipid carrier transferase; Is the initiating enzyme for colanic acid (CA) synthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of the glucose-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-Glc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), forming a phosphoanhydride bond yielding to glucosyl-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol (Glc-PP-C55). Also possesses a weak galactose-1-P transferase activity. Belongs to the bacterial sugar transferase family.
 
  
 0.995
wza
Colanic acid export protein; Probably involved in the export of the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid from the cell to medium.
 
  
 0.979
wcaK
Putative galactokinase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
 
 0.975
wzc
Colanic acid production tyrosine-protein kinase; Required for the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid synthesis. The autophosphorylated form is inactive. Probably involved in the export of colanic acid from the cell to medium. Phosphorylates udg.
 
  
 0.975
wzyE
Putative ECA polysaccharide chain elongation protein; Probably involved in the polymerization of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) trisaccharide repeat units. Required for the assembly of the phosphoglyceride-linked form of ECA (ECA(PG)) and the water-soluble cyclic form of ECA (ECA(CYC)). Belongs to the WzyE family.
   
  
 0.964
waaL
O-antigen ligase; Adds the O-antigen on the glucose group of LPS.
  
  
 0.934
wzb
Colanic acid production protein-tyrosine-phosphatase; Dephosphorylates Wzc. Required for the extracellular polysaccharide colanic acid synthesis, probably involved in the export of colanic acid from the cell to medium. Involved in protection of cells against contact- dependent growth inhibition (CDI), probably due to the loss of a physical impediment to cell-cell contact; Belongs to the low molecular weight phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase family.
     
 0.933
rfbC
dTDP-4-deoxyrhamnose-3,5-epimerase; Catalyzes the epimerization of the C3' and C5'positions of dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose, forming dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose. Belongs to the dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose 3,5-epimerase family.
  
  
 0.929
wcaL
Putative colanic acid biosynthesis glycosyl transferase; Protein involved in colanic acid biosynthetic process.
 
  
 0.929
rfbB
dTDP-glucose 4,6 dehydratase, NAD(P)-binding; Catalyzes the dehydration of dTDP-D-glucose to form dTDP-6- deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose via a three-step process involving oxidation, dehydration and reduction; Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family. dTDP-glucose dehydratase subfamily.
